Are my OME springs wore out?

    Hey everyone, so I've had OME 886 coil springs on my truck for about a year and I'm starting to wonder if they are worn out or what's going on with them. My settup on the front is 886 coils with 5100 shocks and jba uca's. I also have a us off-road winch bumper and a winch that's about 160-170 pounds all together. My truck seems like it has a decent rake so I measured today and found out that hub to fender on the front is 22" and most stock trucks that I see are 20.5 inches. Is it right to only get 1.5 inches of lift with this setup or is there something else going on?
    Thanks!

    With all that wieght in front I could see it sagging a bit, more so if you also have a skid plate or 2nd battery. iirc 5100 only allow 2in lift.

    I might be wrong here but I have heard that you shouldn't run 5100 with 886s. The rebound on the 886s is too much for the 5100s

    What were the measurement(s) when first installed? How do you have the 5100’s setup?

    So I don't have any skid plates or second battery, just the bumper and winch and I think 160-170 is overestimated and the 20.5" was where it sat originally.

    I don’t think you have any issue.

    So I looked up the weight of the bumper and winch. The bumper weighs 52 lbs and the winch weighs 63 lbs so 115 all together.

    1 year old springs, only 115 pounds up front. Either they arent sagging any lower than when first installed or there is something wrong with the springs. They shouldn’t be getting fatigued in a year.

    That’s how I felt, when they were first installed I upgraded from 887 coils to the 886 coils. I was level front to rear when first installed and now I’m about 1-1.5” lower in the front. I’m debating contacting arb and seeing what they have to say
